Hi i have a Sanyo Xact E6 .. and i only bought it because it had a 3 inch LCD screen.
So, no matter how still i hold my hands, the stupid thing takes a blurry picture.

You don't have to swear (or practically). Do you have your flash on? Without a flash, indoor digital pictures are blurry. Can you change the shutter speed?

I found a review of your camera...and apparantly it's quite a good camera which doesn't suffer from shutter lag at all, so the problem could be just the way you are using it.
The E6 has a touch sensitive shutter button, so that may be the cause. Make sure you wait for the 'beep' which lets you know the focus has been locked.
Here is an excerpt from the review...
"This is the first model we've ever seen that features a "touch sensitive" shutter release. You simply make contact with it and it will pre-focus the camera. While this eliminates the "half-press" technique we have all come to know, I was very glad to see that you could turn this function Off. It works well and is very "cool", but I just did not care for it; I guess I'm just stubborn and like the older method."
Maybe you should try to take photos with the touch sensor turned on if it already isn't...or turn it off if it is, to see which you prefer.
Also try different 'Scene' modes for different situations.
Good luck

Use a tripod whenever possible. Try this; Attach a newspaper to a wall, now while hand holding the camera, take a picture close enough so you can read the paper through the viewfinder. Now, from about the same spot, mount the camera on a tripod, use your remote cable or whatever your camera uses, and shoot the same shot. You will be amazed at the difference.

Any camera has a focus limit, the reasons it takes blurry pictures :
1/ You are too close to the subject, check the camera manual to know the minimum focus range, you need to turn the macro mode on.
2/ You are taking pictures in a not so perfect lighting scene, you need to increase the camera ISO to at least 400 instead of using default setting 100.

Most pocket cameras don't have a large enough minimum lens aperture for satisfactory photos in anything other than daylight, or at close distance with flash. You're paying the price for a inexpensive small camera you can carry in your pocket. Without careful use, these types of cameras are for "Snapshots".
Basically throw-away images. Time to step up to a DSLR.

The shutter speed is too slow. Select a faster speed and that will cut out the blurring. Just make sure you have enough light for the faster speed.

If you didn't buy a point and shoot camera then you are going to get these results. Read the owner's manual, maybe you can change some settings.

Mine does that too especially if you turn the flash off. It makes the shutter extremely slow for some reason. It's really frustrating... definitely feel your pain, there. Sorry I can't help, though!

Put it in Auto Mode
Make sure the Flash is NOT disabled
If in manual mode, make sure you use a short aperture time

You bought a piece of **** . It can only be that. Try a mini tripod. Otherwise, spend enough money not to whine about how cheap you are...
